Cherish Thy Wolf: part 4
So during the next days, Sakura and I spent the time together working on the project. They asked the class, the school, the pedestrians, and so forth. On the due day, when they had to present it, an announcement has been made.
"Okay class, an announcement has been made and it is time for the school's annual prom. It is on this weekend being held in the quad. Starts promptly at eight, night," he announced. A prom? I have never been to one in all of my life!! What do people do there anyways?
"Moving on, let's give out presentation…"
The day went fast and Tomoyo and Eriol went up before we did. The bell rang and the teacher said that Sakura and I could do the presentation tomorrow.
"Come on Sakura! I have to tell you the perfect dress I designed for you!! Hohohoho!" squealed Tomoyo and she pulled Sakura to somewhere.
As usual everyday, I made my way to the tree where I first met Sakura. I wanted to ask Sakura if she would like to go, but there were plenty of guys asking her I can barely talk to her! Oh well. Maybe I'll wait. The prom is later this weekend.
"Really, Tomoyo, you are the best at these kind of stuff!" I heard Sakura's voice coming towards the tree. She wasn't surrounded by guys this time and I thought this was the moment I wasn't going to slip by. I slowly began to climb down until…
"Sakura-chan!" Aw, crap. It was that dork Eriol. I stayed up and listened to the three. "Konnichiwa Sakura-chan. Have you gotten a date yet for the prom?" NO!! He, especially HIM of all people will not ask her!!! But then a thought crossed my mind. What if Sakura said yes? I'm doomed.
"No I haven't Eriol-kun," Sakura replied. That gave me a little hope. Eriol smirked.
"Then would you - !"
"Eriol-kun! I don't have a date and I was wondering if you like to be mine?!" Hey, that wasn't Sakura's voice at all! I peered down and saw Tomoyo latching onto Eriol's arm, giving him a starry look. I could tell it was a fake. What was up with that? Meanwhile, I must say Eriol was taken by surprise and gave Sakura an exasperate look. "Come on Eriol, I want to talk to you about our, uh project!" She towed him over to the benches, but winked at Sakura before she left.
I laid back onto the limb. If it wasn't for Tomoyo's intrusion, Sakura had probably said yes. Or would she?
"Syaoran? Are you up there?" Sakura's voice rang through the leaves.
"Hai," I replied.
"Good, because, um, there's something I would like to ask…you." My heart pounded like crazy and I looked down. "Me too," I said. "Ladies first."
Sakura blushed. "Okay. I, uh, mou, wouldyouliketobemydatefortheprom?"
I fell off the tree.
"Syaoran!!" Sakura kneeled down beside me, hands on her lips in shock. "Daijobu?! You fell off the tree!" I groaned. I must look like an idiot. I heard running and I saw Tomoyo's and Eriol's faces over me.
"Sakura what happened?" Tomoyo asked worriedly. Eriol smirked.
"Looked like he fell for Sakura." I sat up and I blushed.
"Demo, why did you fall off the tree Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura was slightly tinted pink. Tomoyo smiled widely. "Was it because Sakura asked you out?" I nodded. She and Eriol laughed. "And what did you say?"
"I fell off the tree before I said anything." Okay, I probably looked like a tomato right about……now…
"What is your answer?" Eriol laughed.
"H-hai." Sakura was just about as red as me right about now. "I was about to ask you the same. Before I fell off."
"Aaaaaaaaaawww!!! KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!" shrieked Tomoyo with a big goofy grin. And in front of that grin was none other than the damn camcorder.
"Tomoyo! Where did you get that?!" Sakura covered the lens with her hand and Tomoyo pouted.
"Fine. Let's go to y house today Sakura so you cold see your new dress!" The bell rang and everybody went back inside. I felt so relieved. Sakura, turned down a bunch of guys just to go with me. Wow.
"Syaoran," Sakura pulled my sleeve. I looked at her.
"Ne?"
"Did you really mean it that you were going to go with me?" Sakura blushed and I felt myself doing the same.
"Hai. I really wanted to go with y – " I stopped when I saw a blinking red light. I slapped my head and Sakura turned around.
"TOMOYO!!"
When the bell rang, I was about to give Syaoran my address so he can pick me up, but Tomoyo barged in and said that we need HIS address so we can pick him up.
"What do you mean?" Syaoran asked, confused. He must have thought that men picked up women, not vice versa.
"Oh, just a little surprise that I am willing to do. I'm picking Eriol, you, and Sakura up too," she winked. "It'll be soo~oo fancy! We would be envy of all the students!" Then she got that starry look in her eyes again.
Tomoyo and I walked to her house. I followed her to her room and showed me the dress.
"Beautiful, ne? I just made it last night!" She gave me the dress. "Try it on!" Then shoved me to the closest bathroom.
When I stepped out, she automatically recorded.
"Ohohohoho!! Maybe I should send this tape to Syaoran-kun so he can drool," she snickered.
"Tomoyo!!" I slapped my forehead. "I don't think he likes me like that much!"
"Of course he does. He always stared at you in class! You never noticed? Plus the whole school is buzzing with rumors of you and Syaoraa~aan!" she giggled and continued to tape my redden faced. "Oh, what's this? Sakura's blushing? Heheheee!! What does this tell out viewers?!" I flushed even more.
"I'm not in love with him!"
"Why did you ask him to the prom? You turned down every guy." I felt like this was an interview on "Sakura's First Crush." Not that it's really a…crush.
"Because…I didn't want some creep to take advantage of me."
"What makes you think that Syaoran won't?"
"[gasp] Tomoyo!" How does this girl even think like that?
"Okay, okay, okay. Mou, I know you like Syaoran more than a friend." Tomoyo taunted. I blushed. "Oooo! You admit! You blushed!"
"Demo, that doesn't have to mean I like him." I tried to change the subject. "Anyways, have you noticed that weird wolf hasn't showed up for days now? Weeks even."
"I know. That butthead! He took away my privilege of making more battle costumes for you."
I sighed. Oh well. At least she forgot about the topic of Syaoran. Soon it was time for me to go home and I took my dress and bid Tomoyo a good night.
Days passed and every girls and guys were talking about the "cute couple" consisting of Sakura and me. I blush every time and Tomoyo was there to capture it. Talk about being the predator and prey! Days seemed to pass by quickly and soon it was time for the prom's night.
Sorry I skipped so many days. Oh well. Hope it turns out good. REVIEWS or perish upon my wrath!! ^_~
